For logistics & drivers

You are the road between the farm and the table

Local food only works if someone can carry it the last few miles. If you have a vehicle and know the roads between farms, kitchens and neighbourhoods, the network needs you.

Delivery isn't open yet. Join the waitlist and tell us you can drive.

Why you matter

  • Short trips keep transport costs down

    Food that travels a short distance doesn't have to carry the cost of a long haul. A vegetable grown down the road shouldn't cost more because of events on the other side of the world.

  • You connect every other role

    Growers, makers, kitchens and stores only become a network when food can move between them.

  • You are the last mile

    When ordering exists, a cart can be assembled at a partner or a distribution stop and brought to the door. That door is where you come in.

Our rules for logistics & drivers

These keep the community honest and the food local. See what we accept for the standards each food has to meet.

  • Delivery isn't open yet. Nothing is carried through CFT today.
  • Food never touches plastic in transit. Don't accept or carry food that is packed in plastic: refuse it and tell the sender. A cooler is fine when the food inside is packed in something that isn't plastic.
  • To start, drivers can offer their own rates for trips between farms and kitchens inside 150 miles. CFT doesn't set your rate.
  • Cold food stays cold and frozen food stays frozen for the whole trip, in an insulated carrier. Ice and cold packs never touch the food, wrapped or not.
  • Keep food clean and apart. Your vehicle and carriers are clean, food never rides with fuel, chemicals or pets, and raw meat is kept away from food that is ready to eat.
  • Never open, repack or swap anything you carry. Hand it over the way it was packed.
  • If something goes wrong, such as a cold carrier warming up or a package arriving damaged, tell the sender and the buyer before you hand it over. Don't deliver food you think is unsafe.
  • Hold a valid licence and registration, and insurance that covers using your vehicle for deliveries.
